Trying to learn a scottish accent: Episode 1

[aquafish101]

you sound Russian.. it started off alrite.. closer than most, but as u carried on it just went russian.. pure pure russian.. good luck tho :)

[GlasVegasLad]

Yur pure shite man!

[bobby54639]

i live in glasgow and am scottish, you're tryin to sound like sean conerry and put a 'sh' in all your words but no-one in glasgow speaks like that and i dont know any scot other than connery that does. glaswegians speak alot different- like this- awright pal how ye daen- or aam goin tae the pub- and if you ken something its means you know something.

get it right pal.

[megamerryn]

u sound irish

[jaggedittlegirl]

Watch billy conolly that will help ye, but ye did a good job wee man :))

[jaggedittlegirl]

im a glasgow girl n aye ye did well bit it does have a more highland twang to it, n a lil european as its too flat toned, we scots are all up n doon the place with a melody when we speak, watch billy conolly vids that will help with how we say certain words,

Good yin we man :))

[FoxXonfor]

@jaggedittlegirl and, yes, you, and a little, and down,

good one wee man

I'm Scottish to, but dammit i know how to type

[jaggedittlegirl]

@FoxXonfor you make a comment without even thinking about how my comment was intended, the pronounciation n melody in which we speak, im guessing that you where born with a silver spoon in your mouth seen as you have a problem with the way in which scots is spoken, read n written. id love to know where you get off telling me i cannot type when i all i was doing was trying to help the guy with the accent? how is he ment to learn if i type in the queens english????

[FoxXonfor]

@jaggedittlegirl i was joking, i dont care how people type really, i just wanted to have a decent conversational with someone T.T

[MonsterGuitarX]

it sounds like a higland accent with a hint of irish sometimes. Pretty good, I think you have to choose a certain dialect, concentrate on that and relax into it. nice work!

[smegnose]

It does sound more Russian. Keep learning ^^

[draikentz]

You need to learn how to pronounce the vowels properly, and you don't actually have to roll your r's as much, most people from Scotland unless they're posh only use them half the time. You sound more russian than scottish

[1Dunky]

confused you trying to talk scottish ? cause a did nae sound like it ???

[SouthAfricanBoy94]

its shite, sorry mate

[MrPkownz]

Right mate if yer tryin tae speak way a glasgow accent send a message tae me cause if ye hivnae guessed am fae glasgow and i wid help u with yer accent

[clydearrows]

[clarissadharmaseta]

you sound really fake mate and liek real scottish people dont sound that stupid and it sounds a bit irish sorry but kinda bad

[EmloPyghee]

HaHa That was bad, no affence =P

I am Glaswegian and i did'nt understand a word of that :L

[bellatoad]

lm an aussie too, l LURVE the scot accent....

[GlesgaMaz]

Sorry mate, it's nae where near a Glaswegian accent. It sounds more like some kind of Teuchter (from the North of Scotland) accent.

So either listen to some people from up north and develop that kind of accent or as someone suggested, watch Still Game or videos made by Glaswegians and you'll see how Glaswegians speak.

[heftybawsack]

Bolt ya rocket!

[xRCxPiNkYx]

wow man wtf is the point in a noob tryin tae dae the scottish accent u just sound like a fuckin daftie u canny learn it man

just say man or but at tha end o every sentance n thats u man sorteeeeeeeeeed

[lightlines109]

Watch "Still Game" or "Rab C Nesbitt" and you'll pick it up ;P

Scottish accent's are so different depending on where your from. I'm from Edinburgh, but the accent's you get in the Highlands is what you what to aim for - so class!

[stuBhound69]

For 2/3's of this to me,you sounded like one of those fey airyf/aiery voiced northern Scottish isle'rs.Then you slowed down,the balance/rythem was lost.

As for the Glasgow accent,...well i guess it depends on class.

I'm working class,to the end your words were too well pronounced and sentances were too fluid and lacking breaks and overall harshness.

But then again I'm from west scotland,just out side Glasgow.Edinbourgh talk to me sounds like thier singing wit they say.

[TheChelseacraze]

I think you should just do an australian accent that is way hot.

[kintakintyea]

Haha' A dinna ken fit keyna accent aat eis eit yer spikken min' bit eits nay Scottish lol' soons mayr lyke Russian!

[avisreymond]

[jpbackintown]

Lol. If you want to do the Glaswegian over pronouncing your 'R's'. Glasgow people don't role them as much as most places.

[JasmineGreen13]

[Peacefulrunaway]

[nahkenny]

u are not fuckin scottish .shut the fuck up

[cydr3]

rubbish ;(

[TheweeStevoshow]

I thought you were Russian or Indian and about to attempt the accent after a prompt, and then I realised you were actually doing it already ! It sounds like Robin Williams doing Mrs Doubtfire for dinner guests when he's got drunk.

[Mp5xPAISLEYxMp5]

hello.

I am from Glasgow, I could help you if you want.

But you will need to help me... I am moving to Brisbane soon and i want to learn some of the Australian :)

[pmarsh1986]

veeedios....lol

Good try, better than most but still not quite there.

Keep practising!

[marlonsgloves]

my family are glaswegian, this makes me cringe.

[Ryoushadow]

Glaswegian?

What?

[callumjosephstewart]

Glaswegians are people from Glasgow

[drew609]

Klingon. pft.

[jo7dan118]

its highland at best

[serialkilla83]

pure crap!! if u tried that in glasgow u'd get slapped!! u sound like a Chinese "scotty fae star trek!! u need balls to speak scottish, u clearly have none. Glaswegian is an aggressive way of speaking kinda like klingon. when u speak it u speak it with aggressive charisma & u need to be as sharp as a razor so ya diddy get sum baws, get some charisma & wise up ya dobber!!

[bumface100000]

i can hear scottish in your accent - but it sounds like your over doing it and you sound a bit silly lol

keep trying though

[BravoSierra87]

and yeah i slipped up on a few pronounciations (out, now, etc) .. but i was too lazy to do multiple takes!
